§ Mr. Harrisonasked the Secretary of State for Social Services if he will list the area health authorities under the responsibility of the Yorkshire regional health authority and name the chairmen, the vice-chairmen and the secretaries of each of the authorities and if he will indicate the addresses to which official correspondence should be sent.
§ Mr. WhitneyMy right hon. Friend the Secretary of State does not appoint the vice-chairmen of district health authorities. They are elected annually by the members of the authority from within their own number. There is also no statutory post of secretary to a health authority, although most authorities identify a person to act in this capacity. This information is therefore not held centrally but the right hon. Member may wish to obtain it from the relevant district health authority chairman. The other information requested is as follows:
